no launch today it seems, hopefully soon!

Cole Hudson looks like hop tomorrow! get hype!

☕ David Antoine Hype! Happy to see I'm not the only one here :) I'll watch it on "What About It!?" livestream... SN8 put the bar very high. SN9 seems to have had a more complicated birth let's say. At least that is my feeling... Hopefully it will stick the landing.

☕ David Antoine Yep. FAA canceled the TFR. Safety concerns apparently linked to SN9 previously tiping in the high-bay w/ no disclosure of the incident to the FAA from SpaceX. Then advising them from now on to disclose thrust parameters and amount of fuel uplift three days in advance of any tests. Very strange. And some drama w/ Musk. Will see how it develops but pretty confusing situation all of a sudden from the FAA. TFR is up for this friday but as some says, I've a bad feeling about this.

Cole Hudson Huh, I would've assumed that they would have reported the tipping incident. I agree its strange, but mostly from the perspective that SpaceX isn't gushing with information for the FAA. It seems plausible that you could have an on-site regulator paired with a SpaceX liaison to keep the former in-the-loop such that the latter is always certified. I want to see SN9 hop, but hard to dismiss the FAA's caution.
